The government had gone to the Supreme Court of Canada In an effort to get George and Evelyn Jackson to vacate their home. But lawyer George Hynna sald the government now concedes that the Federal Court trial division which granted a possession order and the Federal Court of Appeal which upheld the decision did not have jurisdiction. The case should have pro- ceeded in the British Columbia Supreme Court, he said. Charles Johnstone, the Jackson’s lawyer, sa decision “opens the door to a whole new set of proceedings that could take another four or five years," “Now the queation is if there is any kind of sanity in the government and If they will sit down and negotiate an agreement,” He said he would contact government authorities as soon as possible to try and work out a settlement. The case began in 1972 when after years of on-again off-again threats of takeover the Jacksons, along with about 50 neighbors, ‘were served with expropriation notices. The Jacksons and several others decided to settle and signed sales agreements, while others walted for expropriation, Less than four months later, the Jacksons learned that their neighbors whose land was expropriated were paid 37 per cent more for their pro e eekrons are seeking between $23,009 and $36,000 — the difference they claim they would have got under expropriation, They say say they the . were not advised rights or the siternatives open to them when they ad the acreement. “They don't aare leave,” Johnstone said. ‘Otherwise their place would be bulldozed to the ground."
